✨ Fairytale retelling
💜 Sapphic romance
💫 Space opera
💚 Hopepunk
🖋 Unique storytelling
A science-fantasy retelling of Charles Perrault’s fairy tale “Peau d'Âne,” The Color of Time blends the whimsy of classic fairy tales with the sapphic romance of Fable for the End of the World and the large-scale politics of The Mercy of Gods.
Princess Cyrelle has always been faithful and true to her family, country, and Goddess. But now her brother, King Elias of Cicia, has asked for—no, commanded—her hand in marriage.
Desperate to avoid this incestuous union, Cyrelle requests a series of increasingly impossible gifts and petitions the Goddess for a sign to sway her resolute brother’s proposal. As Elias persists undeterred, Cyrelle must risk everything to escape the only life she’s ever known.
Soon, she becomes Green Scales, hiding and struggling to survive on her own, far across the galaxy. But Phau isn’t the peaceful refuge Cyrelle had hoped for, and when the leader of its burgeoning rebel faction recognizes the runaway princess, she is forced to choose between safety and freedom. With the fate of two kingdoms on the line and nowhere left to run, Cyrelle must decide what it means to be true to herself, to her people, and to her heart.

Your girl has officially earned out her advance! 😎
“Earning out” means I’ve sold enough copies of my novel that my per-book royalties have accumulated to be equal to that of the advance my press paid me. Books that earn out are typically considered to have been successful, and estimates say about 50-80% of books never earn out their advances. For a debut author writing about racial justice, environmentalism, queerness, and feminism, to earn out in under a month is a big deal! 🥳🎉 Swipe through to learn more about what earning out means and some insights into the publishing world!

If you’re new to my page, welcome! I’m Via (she/her), and I am a YA author. My debut novel, All the Scattered Stars, is about a queer teen with forbidden Earth magic trying to survive the sinking of Venice in the year 2063. It’s an ideal read for anyone who likes:
🌿 Elemental Earth Magic
🌿 Vaporetto Heists
🌿 Weaponized Pigeon Chaos
🌿 Mythical Trees
🌿 #ownvoices Ace-Spec Queer Rep
🌿 Venice Sinking
🌿 Fierce FMCs
🌿 Animal Besties
🌿 Destroy the Patriarchy, Not the Planet Vibes
🌿 Healing from Trauma
The glitter of Venice’s lights hides a dark truth: when the floodwaters rise, no one is safe. And Venice is sinking. Tonight.
All the Scattered Stars is available wherever books are sold, or you can submit a purchase request at your local library!

WOLFHEART is now available to request on Netgalley!
Links in bio..
🐺🐺🐺
Elliott arrives in Kings Crossing with a silver knife in her hand and a target on her back.
She’s looking for answers about the family who abandoned her.
She isn’t expecting her first night to lead to a hookup much too charming for his own good – or later to spot a girl with claw marks fleeing out of the nearby woods . . .
In a small town where werewolves stalk the forest, Elliott soon learns she’s descended from a long line of werewolf hunters, while her handsome hookup, Garrett, is from the town's resident pack. He's instantly off-limits to her, and she to him.
But even as the mysterious attacks in Kings Crossing mount up, their hearts are growing more and more entangled.
And Elliott is guarding her own dark secrets – secrets that could tear the town and her new-found happiness to shreds . . .
Note - all trigger warnings are included on my website if you'd like to check before reading!
